Or, things that are irrelevant… or worse.

I went to see a movie yesterday about a group of magicians. It was peppered with a few references to witchcraft, featured directives from tarot cards and had a statue of the devil or a demon.

I regret seeing it, while otherwise, it seemed fairly harmless.

The previews that came before the film were disturbing: Tales of serial killers, psychopaths and extramarital affairs. Why do I still go to the movies?

Also, I had forgotten to go to my church workday, so I was feeling guilty, and whenever I go to the movies, having lunch out first, and getting popcorn or other treats, I feel there must be millions who are lacking safety, to say nothing of food, clothing and shelter.

Then, at home, Wicked is on the TV. I am not into it, but I watch it for a bit. Elphaba is compelling in her earlier years, but apparently becomes an evil witch. And there is a “nobleman” visiting Oz, and he is “seducing” the men as well as the women, during his featured song. I think that is NOT okay.

I’m not trying to judge anyone, but I think God hates anything that is sexually immoral, and not just homosexuality. Adultery and fornication are also sins.

Sorry to rant, but the world is full of things that aren’t worthy of Christ. I regret that some of them appear before me. I’d rather they did not.

Not that I don’t have my own sin, to be perfectly honest and clear.
